We already know that playing with your food can lead to some interesting edible art – but what would it be like to live in a world of food? Photographer Christopher Boffoli has created Big Appetites, an extensive series of photographs in which tiny figures interact with real-life environments crafted from food. Similar to the imaginative worlds of Alice in Wonderland or even Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs, these figures reference society’s fascination with anything miniature, and also emphasizes America’s love for excess – in this case, with food. Each image is paired with a witty quote commenting subtly on society – and also providing some laughs.

The photographs have been published in over 95 countries all over the world and are being turned into a book of the same name, set to be released in September 2013.

To see Boffoli’s work in New York City, visit Winston Wachter Fine Art at 530 West 25th Street – the exhibition “Portion Control” runs between June 6-July 31, 2013.
